SS&C is preparing its partner ecosystem for the next phase of intelligent automation as it unveils a reinvented partner programme for 2026, designed to support organisations adopting agentic AI at scale.
Building on its long-standing heritage in robotic process automation (RPA), business process management (BPM) and case management, the updated programme reflects how quickly enterprise automation is evolving and the growing demand for more autonomous, decision-making AI systems.
At its core, the SS&C Partner Program is intended to connect customers with specialist expertise and trusted technology partners that can support increasingly complex automation strategies. As organisations move beyond task-based automation towards intelligent agents that can act independently within defined guardrails, SS&C is positioning its ecosystem to deliver deeper collaboration, faster outcomes and more measurable business impact.
Gareth Lane, VP partner programs & success at SS&C, said the launch of the new programme marks a significant milestone as the company embraces the agentic era while continuing to build on its foundations in enterprise automation. He highlighted the pace of market change and the opportunity this creates for stronger partnerships that drive growth, innovation and customer success.
For customers, the refreshed programme is designed to remove friction from how they engage with partners. SS&C has simplified engagement models, aligned incentives and reduced operational complexity, making it easier for organisations to access the skills, knowledge and collaboration needed to deploy agentic AI solutions with confidence. The aim is to help customers move more quickly from experimentation to production-ready automation that delivers tangible results.
Finding the right partner has become increasingly critical as industries and technologies continue to shift. Enterprises are under pressure to improve agility, efficiency and customer experience, while also ensuring resilience and scalability. SS&C argues that sustainable transformation depends on two fundamentals: a proven automation platform and a partner with the expertise to tailor that technology to real-world business challenges.
That platform is SS&C Blue Prism’s secure, enterprise-grade, full-stack automation offering, which brings together agentic automation, orchestration and AI governance. The company says this integrated approach enables organisations to move beyond incremental efficiency gains towards enterprise-wide transformation, with intelligent agents capable of making decisions with minimal human intervention while remaining governed, compliant and secure.
Partners play a central role in translating these capabilities into value. Through its evolving ecosystem, SS&C aims to give customers access to highly skilled partners who can identify opportunities across the business, design end-to-end automation strategies and support deployments in high-growth markets.
A key change is how SS&C selects and enables its partners. Participants are rigorously vetted and required to complete one of the most comprehensive certification programmes in the automation industry. This includes training in the SS&C | Blue Prism® Robotic Operating Model™ (ROM™ 2), which is designed to help organisations plan, build and scale automation initiatives in a structured and repeatable way.
